Configuring the Solaris operating system

You must configure the Solaris operating system before you can use Oracle hosts with the system.

Before you begin

Before you configure the Solaris operating system, the following tasks must be completed:
  • The Storwize® V3500 system must be installed.
  • You must install the appropriate host bus adapters.

About this task

After the prerequisite tasks are complete, use the following general steps to configure your Solaris operating system.

Procedure

  1. Zone the host to the system on the Fibre Channel SAN.
  2. Install the appropriate multipathing driver for your host to enable the management of multiple paths to system volumes.
    Note: The subsystem device driver (SDD) does not support the Solaris operating system in a clustered-system environment.
  3. Create the host on the system by using the worldwide port names (WWPNs). Map the volumes to the host.
  4. Create volumes and disks on your host by using instructions that are in your host publications.
